The Real Santa Claus

​

Did you know Santa Claus is real?

Discover the inspiring story of St. Nicholas, a beloved figure whose legacy of generosity continues to enchant people worldwide.  Born in the 4th century in Myra, Lycia (modern-day Turkey), St. Nicholas is celebrated as a revered saint in both Eastern and Western churches, closely associated with the joyous festival of Christmas.

​

Legend tells us that Nicholas, born into wealth, dedicated his life to helping those in need, particularly children and the less fortunate.  Renowned for his acts of kindness, he would secretly bestow gifts and treats upon impoverished children, embodying the spirit of compassion and generosity.

​

One of the most famous tales recounts how Nicholas saved three destitute girls from a grim fate by providing them with dowries of gold, ensuring their future and rescuing them from despair.

​

Though deeply committed to his faith, Nicholas was not without his flaws.  There are accounts of his fierce defense of the church, such as the incident where he confronted a priest over controversial remarks.  Despite his expulsion from the church, Nicholas's unwavering dedication to justice and compassion endeared him to the community, leading to his reinstatement as a saint.

​

Today, we honor St. Nicholas as a symbol of selflessness and goodwill. His legacy serves as a timeless reminder of the power of kindness and the profound impact of giving.  Let us carry forward his spirit of generosity, ensuring that the tradition of giving lives on in all of us.
